Support Free Republic, Folks!
Jerk Merkley schooled on separation of powers by an 0bama appointed judge. LOL!
He and his attorneys should be disbarred for filing a frivilous suit.
No judge is going to take on a political question.
More Rat grandstanding.
You see, if you put right person in court, that person would rule in your favor. That’s why demcrats go for court because they can’t count on elections to get what they want
All Merkley did was demonstrate what a fool he was/is.
Unfortunately, the article doesn’t say that the judge really understood the separation of powers principle. The judge said he should have sued earlier.
The dangerous thing here is I don’t see any circumstance ever where a federal court would have the right to tell Congress that they can’t vote on something.
Since when does the judiciary have ANY control over the internal decision-making actions of the US Senate?
Robert’s Rules of Order still prevail.
He should have filed in Hawaii.
If the judge had tried to grant the delay, the Senate would have ignored the judge and then impeached the judge.
He should have done better judge shopping. I’m sure there is a liberal judge who would rule that the judiciary has the power to control political processes in Congress.
Support Free Republic, Folks!
I’m deeply disturbed by the fact that the judge ruled on timing and not separation of powers. I think if Markey had filed sooner this dipwad really WOULD have tried to stop the vote.
And she ruled that Mr. Merkley’s request was beyond the court’s powers anyway.
There is a fat lady in the wings. I think she wants to sing.

“...a federal judge ruled Friday that he had waited too long to sue.”
It’s preposterous that this is given as a reason at all. The Senate is a corporate body, and the Republicans hold control. The constitutional procedure has been followed.
The ruling implies that if Merkley had sued earlier, a court could have intervened. The courts have NO jurisdiction whatsoever over actions of Congress. The separation of powers affirms this.
There plenty of other lib judges. Try Hawaii or California or Washington state or Oregon, etc.
Well just impeach any judge that attempts this and remove them from office, which the Senate can do at any time it desires. The Federal Courts have no say anyway as the Senate follows its own rules, which they did and the court has no jurisdiction at all, separation of powers. What ignorant sluts these dems are. Rat brains!
Next, Merkley appeals to the EU.
And then, the UN.
LOL
Thanks Jeff! What better way to demonstrate why we need more conservatives on the court and how the Democrats abuse our judicial system.
Any competent lawyer could have told you the same.
Jeffrey, Jeffrey, Jeffrey. Read the Constitution. Idiot. Judges are not gods. Moron.
